Project: Scholar-Practitioner Project: Health Care Administration Leadership Theory

For your final written Assignment, you refine and develop your Health Care Administration Leadership Theory based on insights gained in this course about leadership theories and a systems thinking approach. For this Assignment, your theory should reflect Instructor feedback, researched studies, introspection, innovation, and literature analysis.

The Assignment (15–20 pages):

Section 1: Abstract and Introduction (1–2 pages)

Section 2: Revised Literature Review and Problem Statement (5–7 pages):

• Literature Review to include:
  • A synthesis of the literature of 15–20 peer reviewed, scholarly resources
  • A description of theoretical gaps in the research
• Problem Statement to include:
  • An explanation of the specific problem that addresses identified gaps within the literature
  • An explanation of how your problem statement incorporates implications for positive social change

Section 3: Personal Health Care Administration Leadership Theory (2–3 pages):

• An articulation of your personal Health Care Administration Leadership Theory

Section 4: Revised Visual Representation of Your Health Care Administration Leadership Theory (3–4 pages):

Your visual representation should include:

• Your personal Health Care Administration Leadership Theory to address the gaps identified in the literature
• A visual representation of the theory (e.g., table, graph, matrix)
• An explanation on how the theory addresses the literature gaps identified in Week 5
• A description of how your theory incorporates aspects of systems thinking

Section 5: Empirical Evaluation Plan for a Health Care Administration Leadership Theory (3–4 pages):

You will assess if the newly developed leadership theory addresses the problem you have been working on. What methodological steps will you use? How will you collect data? Suggestion: start with how theories in our text are evaluated. It does not have to be detailed, but it must include the methods, measures, and analytic techniques.

If the Assignments are done correctly, there should be an alignment from the topic of choice to the evaluation:

• The topic is researched in the literature. The literature review points out a theoretical gap that needs to be addressed by leadership.
• The gap is turned into a problem statement.
• A leadership theory to address the problem is proposed.
• The theory is depicted in a visual.
• An evaluation plan describes how the newly developed theory resolves the problem identified in the literature.

Section 6: Conclusion (1–2 pages)

Section 7: References:

• An APA-formatted reference list of 15–20 peer-reviewed, scholarly journals

Objective

The purpose of this discussion is to review assessment techniques, identify subjective and objective information related to a focused system, and introduce clinical reasoning. Please read through the entire discussion instructions and example posts prior to your initial post as you will be building on the responses of your peers.

Report to the virtual clinic and select ONE of the occupied exam rooms. Note that each exam room has its own thread for discussion. Read the chief complaint and review any information already shared by your peers to build on the identified patient case. Identify one additional unique health history or subjective symptom as well as one objective exam finding. Provide scholarly support to discuss the physical assessment technique used to identify the objective finding and compare and contrast characteristics of normal and abnormal findings. Each student will copy and paste the most recent developing case to build upon their initial post. Please do not copy the scholarly support. See Example.

Your initial post should include evidence of review of the course material, websites, and literature through proper citations using APA format.

Virtual Clinic Exam Rooms

• Room 1: 16yo Raena Regis reports history of headache
• Room 2: 35yo Rhoda Regis reports right wrist pain
• Room 3: 73yo Renata Regis reports general achiness

(See Response Post Instructions and Example before beginning the Discussion.)

Response Posts

Return to the virtual clinic and select TWO of the occupied exam rooms. Review the documented subjective and objective history. Provide scholarly support to identify a differential diagnosis based on the reported findings. Include additional subjective or objective data that would support this diagnosis.

Introduce yourself, and be honest, describe your experience with research

and explain why research is so important to the nursing career. 

Is Quarantine Consistent with Ethical Principles?

Your readings cover ethical principles. After reading the Week 2 Content section-Ethics of Quarantine, analyze the ethics of public health issues by discussing whether the use of quarantine in a given situation is consistent with ethical principles.

Your response must include the following:

1) What are some ethical principles that should be considered?

2) Of the ones that you have researched, select one and explain why that principle is important to medical and public health officials. 

3) What are some issues that may arise if these principles are not applied when implementing quarantine?

Most be at least 250 words  and supported by at least two references  

 NOT A YES OR NO OR AGREE OR DISAGREE ANSWER, but discussing your peer points also supported by evidence-based literature.  The response should be at least one paragraph with no less than five sentences strongly supporting your peer input. Remember to including the citation and at least one APA reference.
